They're destructive and difficult to deter. If squirrel hate is more common among Boomers, it's probably because they've lived long enough to find this out firsthand.
Any trusted friend who's been around to witness you meeting new people should be able to tell you.
Just to add on: face away from the bathroom mirror and look into the hand mirror, angling it until you can see the reflection of the reflection of the back of your head.
(Figured if someone out there actually needed this advice, the actual method might not be totally obvious to them without explanation.)
Fair, but that's pretty much how a lot of people feel about imperial units, too.
It sounds like your group wouldn't readily welcome a member who wasn't an intelligent, rational individual. I wonder, if a current member experienced a crisis that led them to a kind of blind, irrational faith, would they still be equally welcome?
You're right that it's wrong, but ostracism doesn't strike me as something that can be outlawed—not just because it's one of our fundamental primitive social behaviors, but because of logistics. I'm curious how you envision it working? That is, you could probably forbid a church from declaring excommunication in a formal fashion, but could you actually stop its members from shunning someone? It would raise a lot more questions, like what if one member of the church is revealed to have abused another? Does the church still have to welcome them back?
Those have a 5- to 10-year warranty, depending on which kind. Have you tried reaching out to GE for replacements?
Would smaller groups feel a reduced strain from that?
Would the shrinkage in the labor force make it impossible to provide end of life care and financial support as the larger generations age?
What type of help would you be offering in that example?
They said they had to stay behind for 30 minutes, but they didn't say what they stayed behind from. Lunch, maybe, or study hall? Recess, if they're at a rare middle school that still offers it? Art? Seems like there's a way it could work.
